Riedl VZ-400 laser scanner

It executes 360º scans in a couple of minutes, recording around 15 million points as it does so. I stood still about 3 metres away as the laser swept over me. The points were so dense that the result looked like a monochrome negative photograph, but it is also a partial 3d model. Its maximum scanning distance is 600 metres. I was told it cost $200,000.
